Good outlet for amplifiers


I have a circuit in my listening room for my amplifiers and it uses a dedicated ground.  Right now I have two duplex outlets connected - and I use the primary outlet (first on the run) for the amps (reserve secondary for subwoofers if needed).  I would like to install better quality outlets for this - two duplex, set up for a dedicated ground.  I could see spending $100-$200 per duplex, if that gets me something decent.  I want it to grip the plugs well.  Recommendations?

PS - I'm running two VAC Phi-200 amplifiers (200w tube amps, KT88)

And I don't want to abuse the Furutech rhodium plated, but they are REALLY detailed and it was too much in any of my systems. I could see it being really helpful for people with "dark" systems

I don't see much better grip from a duplex outlet than the top offerings from Hubbell and for a fraction of the cost Pass & Seymour.  I use both and frankly I always recommend 20 amp P & S's with the clamping from the back to the wire for thirty plus years and everyone I've checked is still very tight.  When I added P & S (now discontinued) Grey/ clear body colored ninety degree male plug to the end of a power cord, the two gripped like a permanent bond.  To this day they hold well as a recent visit to an acquaintances home where I did this in the early 1990's.  Still my fav right angle plug if you can get them that  was reasonably priced.

Don't waste money on power cables receptacles plugs fuses conditioners etc.. nothing but snake oil. Take your wife to concerts if you have extra money.

I'm not sure what caused the long break in to be honest, I just know the Rhodium took me over 3 months.....not sure of the total hours. I was working with 8 (9?) receptacles for about 13 months. I also tend to prefer gold plated, then silver plated, then rhodium plated in that order

The GTX-D(G) took about 6 or so weeks

Thanks, sounds like it is the rhodium then. 

Just received a Viborg rhodium outlet, and I'm debating putting in on the freezer in the garage for a month instead of into the hifi system. One hand it is interesting to hear the changes, but 400 hours again; even listening for 12 hours a day that is 33 days. Think after just doing that math I have decided the former.
